Golly Gumdrops! The Ladies of the Cloth-Part One

The Ladies met this week and had some catching up to do. Last week we were hindered by the ice, this week it was sunny and warmish. Welcome to Pennsylvania. We have been known to have four seasons in one day. I am not kidding.

We had a lively conversation about Downton Abbey and Doc Martin. Favorites with this group, we were dissecting the story line and some contradictions we noted. My contribution was the comment made by Lord Grantham....."golly gumdrops!" Really? Where in the world did that come from? I cannot imagine that comment coming from him. Oh well.

So above you must see Linda's current UFO. A paper pieced project the colors are stunning and the design is intricate and so well balanced. This will be a wall hanging for a long wall just waiting for decoration. Beautiful.

Color, color, color. I have little skill in that arena but clearly, Linda has enough for both of us!

Next post, more interesting color use by our Rose. I am a boring quilter, of this I am certain!!!

I don't know if you are up for a new project this close to the Holidays, but I saw this little Infinity/or standard scarf from the Olfa...

2017 Theme

The word and the goal for this year is THRIVE! In as many aspects as possible, the creative soul must be able to thrive in all aspects of their life. To this end we seek health, mindfullness and happiness. As the Bonsai grows it is shaped and contained to be its most beautiful self. Defined in stature it is elegant in style and glorious in appearance. To Thrive it needs regular and measured attention, like the creative soul. "to progress toward or realize a goal despite or because of circumstances —"
